From sponsoring community events to providing IT equipment for schools and supporting charity hikes , we ’ re proud to be able to make a real impact on a diverse range of causes .
Championing British timber
“ BSW Group is an incredibly vast business in a relatively unique position , as timber itself locks away carbon . This means that by planting trees – over a billion in fact – and promoting the use of sawn timber products , we are working towards a more sustainable future . All our products are certified by FSC or PEFC , ensuring that all the material we do use is sourced responsibly , while we also work closely with trade bodies , both in timber and the wider construction industry . As a group , we have grown very quickly through acquisition , with each new business in a different position when it comes to mapping its carbon footprint and devising a plan to reduce this . We are currently scrutinizing the carbon data of each business so that it is consistent and can be brought together , giving us one clear direction of travel .”
